DeSync / Session Lost / signature check

[Vertoxis 15]

We tried about 10 servers last night, every single server.. same problem

I had played ok for about 1-2 minutes on the first server.... then HEAVY HEAVY desync issues.. bad bad issues.. we decided time to switch servers

Upon joining the new server, my friend described he was moving around the room...... but on my screen he was still crouched in front of me in the same spot he was when i loaded in

So we change servers...... same problem

Change servers again..... and the same problem.... again

and again.... etc etc etc

every time... i load in... and he can see me move... crouch.. do whatever im currently doing...... but no doors respond.. and his character (As well as everyone else in the server) DO NOT move.. or anything...

After about 8 minutes i am moved to the server select screen with a "Session Lost" message

and my friends say on the server it states "Signature check timed out" 

I have not had ANY problems or touched ANY files since the early access alpha started...... therefore i have NO idea what the problem could be....... any ideas?

You give up after a mere half hour?

If it's just you, did you make sure everything is alright on your hand? Have you verified your game integrity? Have you tried reinstalling? Is your internet stable? Teamspeak is pretty forgiving, while the BI-games aren't. Any disturbance in your internet makes you lose connection, which is what you experienced there.

 

Do you have any containers on you? First Aid Kit? The yellow case? Anything else? More than one? That might be causing the issue as well, have you considered dropping it and try again?

No. i give up after seeing that every single thread with this problem.... standalone,arma2/3, and DayzMod all end the same way... no resolution and the player literally quits the game apparantly (At least in 2 threads the player just gave up after 2 weeks..... who knows if they figured it out later)

THATS when i give up... it just so happens it only took 30 minutes

----------------------

OK anyway back to possibly finding a solution for myself and other players with this problem currently

Things i have done  (IN ORDER) ... note i DO NOT have any med cases, yellow cases, or ammo containers.... i am fully aware of this bug... problem is im not having "Typical" desync issues... as i explained.. my friend sees everything i do... but i see all players and interacting objects (Doors) as they were when i load in... nothing moves.. people or objects .... 

ALTHOUGH i had loot from another player, i removed all my loot and reverted to a "Freshie" without respawning.... i will try respawning my character tonight... perhaps it IS the "Container" bug and its something my character had on him 2-3 days ago causing this issue?!? 

I only play hardcore... so i will also try a "Regular 3PP on" server tonight .... the reason i didnt try that yet was i have no containers on that HC char... so i figured the freshie on regular wouldnt matter either way

I HAVE NO red chain or yellow chain.. broken or otherwise... nothing like that... in the player list.. my ping is 30-50.... and i see that i have a desync of 1... maybe 2 

things i have already tried

1 Verified files on steam..... didnt work

2 Reinstalled.. did not work

3 re-reinstalled... and verified after... didnt work

4 multiple servers ... i mean MULTIPLE servers attempted (all hardcore) .. all same result

I can connect... and im IN the server apparently ... because i can move around.. crouch.. open doors (even though i dont see them open.. my friend sees it open..... but again... on my screen.. nothing is happening except me moving around.. i cannot switch weapons.. drop anything.... well.. i can.. but i cant see myself doing it.. everyone else can see it but not me)

my internet is fine.... i played CS:GO instead for oh...i dont know.. 4 hours last night straight.. no problems

All my voice comms .. ventrilo, gamevox, teamspeak, skype.... all pings under 20ms .... no problems with them what-so-ever 

i did NOT run them during my testing of dayZ

Again... i have not had a SINGLE issues since DAY 1 of the standalone (Lucky i know) ... i am not complaining.. because yes it is a true alpha.... but it seems a lot of issues on these forums that are "Wide spread" never seem to be solved..... or they get solved and the player never reports back the concrete solution....

Thanks for the reply dude!

and here is what i mean by nothing seems to get "Solved" when it comes to an issue that is not wide-spread

last post was like a week ago..... no solution posted... two outcomes.. he fixed it and never came back to say how......... he didnt fix it and just let the thread rot....and also quit dayZ

Problem is, diagnosing internet issues from a distance can only be done in very broad, general terms. There are just too many local factors that only affect the individual system. As this is not a global issue, it is not conducive to a concerted effort to solve.

 

@Vertoxis

Or the problem was transient and simply went away. This has been my experience with these types of desync issues.

I had the same issue. Never identified what exactly it was but the resolution for me was either find a high ping server from another country (Europe) and dump all my gear there after stuffing myself with food and water OR commit suicide. Something is corrupting inventory whether it's a known bug or not, I don't know. I can deal with death in alpha so not a huge deal. Try it.

Oh that can absolutely be the case..........

but guess what i do when that happens

i come back to the forums (GASP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

and post............ ::que intense feverish suspensfull music::

........................................... that the problem seems to of resolved itself, im not sure how but it did.. here is EVERYTHING i did prior to the problem going away.... incase one of them is a factor....

but as of now.. i have no idea how it resolved.. it just did... 

.... i do this so at least other people can have some idea of "Oh well maybe mine fixed" 

i get what your saying... and im really not trying to be an asshole... altho i may seem as such.. (im just odd and like to use ellipses)  i guess i just remember the days of EQ Betas and such.... and remmeber the Dev-Player back and forth.... and the community rally around problems... big or small

Now it just gets swallowed in a forum full of ... WHY WONT MY MOUSE WORK WITH DAYZ AFTER DROPPING IT IN A TOILET!!!!!!

this is what i will try tonight

I have heard of problems with "Containers looted off players" ... such as Med packs, prot cases, and ammo boxs

but i have none of those..... (thing is i may of had one ... this character has been alive for over 48 hours played .. across 6 days.. so i may of had one at one point... dropped it because i didnt need it) 

either way, suiciding the character and fresh spawning is my last option (I dont care about dying.. i just figured my problem wasnt the exact same as described so how could this work?) but seeing as a reinstall X2 and a verify X2 ..... as well as every other more.. file/program oriented fix then killing your character isnt working... well then why not try that... lol

ill report back if it works

My graphics Settings never save. 

[Vertoxis 15]

as i said, im back 

it is fixed... but sadly im not entirely sure how

there are 3-4 things i did so here they are

1 Re-installed the game entirely
2 after re-install.. i verified game files on steam
3 logged in without anyone near me 
4 yelled at my monitor for it to work while logging in (This probably didnt do anything)

and the other thing is... it could of been B.I. or my ISP ... and they fixed it

Regardless those are the 4 things i did on my end... i didnt have to remove any gear or suicide the character... my friend logged on and we played just fine all night

Thanks for everyones help, i hope very little to no people experience this bug

Seems its a very widespread and known bug at the moment
